I’m building a post-SaaS app catalog on Base, and here’s what that actually means

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

For the last several months I’ve been quietly shipping web apps to a site called QuackBuilds. On the surface it looks like a simple catalog — ten or so small tools spanning health, finance, productivity, and AI, all running in the browser with nothing to install. Under the surface, it’s an experiment in what software distribution might look like when the marginal cost of producing an app approaches zero. I want to walk through both layers, because the surface is what you can use today and the underneath is what I think is actually interesting.

Architecture Writeups

@itsevilduck. Architecture writeups for each layer will land on the site as I stabilize them, and I’ll probably post follow‑ups here on dev.to as each piece becomes real enough to demo. Tear it apart, poke at the assumptions, ask the uncomfortable questions. That’s the half of this I’m actually here for.
